and i believe our rev limiter is somewhere around 6200-300 rpms

a mitsu tech did tell me that our motor could probably handle another 800-1000 rpms or so on stock trim... he said a lancer came in one day with a bent rod(thats what they thought) and then one of the lower mechanics were messing with it and the throttle stuck and he said it ran up in some high revs for about 2 mins before it poped. Dont know how much of it is true though.

alot of this conversation is a bit over my head, but are you guys talking about extending the fuel cut off, or what? i thought mathematically the oz could only hit like 134.6 in 5th gear because of fuel cut off from being in the red or something like that. ive never done it, as i treat my car pretty well, but im curious.
i did read the whole thread tho, and im trying to distinguish between the red line (whcih we are NOT supposed to cross i know), the fuel cut off, and the rev limiter. are those 3 things at different points? What can the motor take? Its red for a reason lol.

I disagree slightly.... redline is calculated based on the car's efficiency and power, and basically is the manufacturer saying that anything above this marker can risk serious damage to the engine (recall red always is some kind of warning)... the rev limit and fuel cut are not synonymous however. The rev limit is a "limiter" in place from having stupid peple over rev the engine and spin bearings, whereas fuel cut is another limiter in place to prevent excessive speeds. What it does, is at a certain speed, it kicks in, shuts of fuel and throttle response to the engine and slows you down about 10 - 15 mph before anything happens again. You can hit rev limit without hitting fuel cut and vice versa. However, some cars do have a fuel cut in their rev limiter, as an overrun protection, hence where the two start getting mixed up.

lol. we all have different definitions.
redline = recommended point not to rev past.
rev limiter = limits revs to a certain point as AQ was saying.
fuel cut = ecu seeing too much air input and cuts fuel. i've only really read about this on DSM or boosted cars.
speed governor = cuts fuel to keep car from going past a certain speed.
redline = recommended point not to rev past.
rev limiter = limits revs to a certain point as AQ was saying.

not particularly. we have a redline and rev-limit for sure which are RPM dependent, only a handful can confirm the speed governor that is speed dependent, and we don't have "fuel cut" by definition of cutting fuel because of too much air read by the MAS.

right, I wasn't thinking fuel cut because of too much air, I was thinking the fuel cut was how the actualy rev-limit was put in to effect.. or does it cut spark? Pretty sure it'd have to be one of the two, otherwise there'd be no rev-limit, other than valve-float, and I know these engines would fall apart at that point
